I don't think the NYT needed any leak to pull off this scoop. I'm not a big Bush basher, but let's face it, Iraq ain't doin so hot. So Bush being critical of Iraq's PM is no secret. What was Bush going to say at this meeting ... "Great job and stay the course" ?! C'mon, the country is in the middle of a full fledged secterian power grab ... better known as a civil war. If it's not a civil war, than neither was the one in the US. Bottom line, NYT didn't tell anyone anything new. But the sad fact is that if ush wants to control Iraq, he will have to do some things that are directly contrary to democracy and Western human values. Not going to happen.
